This document discusses logistic regression, a classification algorithm used to predict the probability of discrete outcomes. It provides examples of classification problems like customer churn, credit risk, fraud detection. Logistic regression models the log odds of the dependent variable using the sigmoid function. The document outlines the steps to develop a logistic regression model using a default prediction dataset: preprocessing data, fitting a model on training data, interpreting coefficients, assessing fit, making predictions on test data, and evaluating the model's performance.
